We take a computational ontology to be a directed acyclic graph where nodes represent concepts and the links between concepts represent the taxonomic “isa” relation (e.g. in the graph where ‘Wine → Red Wine → Brunello di Montalcino, everything that “is a” instance of Brunello…
The challenges of knowledge modelers: rigor, expertise, obsolescence
In the design, implementation, and long-term deployment of computational ontologies, knowledge modelers face several enduring challenges. For one, computational ontologies have often been designed without sufficient logical rigor, which may come with pragmatic costs in terms of…
Computational ontology vs formal ontology
Our approach to representing the discipline derives from what computer and information scientists call “formal ontology.” However, we will avoid using this term because some researchers sensitive to Husserl’s distinction between “formal ontology” and “material ontology” prefer…
